The lineup for Britain's legendary Glastonbury music festival has been leaked two days ahead of schedule amid controversy over headline act Jay-Z and poor ticket sales.
Music magazine NME's website boasted it had a "world exclusive" early Monday, unveiling a full lineup two days before the official disclosure.
According to the leaked report, rapper Jay-Z will be the top draw on Saturday night, June 28, on the Pyramid stage.
On the opening night, Friday, American acts Kings of Leon and Panic At the Disco hold the top spots, while Verve and Groove Armada wrap up the 38-year-old festival on Sunday evening along with Canadian Leonard Cohen. [...]
Tickets have sold out within hours in previous years but 2008 is proving to be a tough slog. After 37,500 tickets were left unpurchased, organizers had to reopen registration.
The world's biggest music festival is run by Michael Eavis and his daughter, Emily, at their farm in Shepton Mallet, in the Somerset region of England. [...]
Other acts appearing at the festival, according to the leaked lineup, are:
Friday, June 27:
